this type of problem occurs in case of cervical spondylitis. for this you might have to use a cervical collar, adept for your neck size and do cervical exercise for toning up your neck muscles. If there substantial pressure on the nerves, which can be seen by an MRI, you might have to undrgo neurosrgery.
